Let me butt in with a bit of info, FWIW.

A few months back I had to fix our local post-install script to quote
the $HOME variable because on some installs it was using a directory
with spaces for HOME: I think it was C:\Documents and Settings\username.

Since our post-install encourages people to use d:\home and overrides
the initial default setting, that dealt with the problem, and I don't
think I can provide any more clues.
